Mgk is gonna have a lot of overlap with qqq and voo. Just different weights.

FCNTX has a very high expense ratio. Sort of goes against the set and forget it funds ideal of low cost

When they largely track the same, just do the one that has the lowest fees. VOO and QQQM are the best known generally.

I’m ok with a portion of my portfolio costing me 0.63% for a product that has averaged 12.86% annually since 1967.

I've been buying a lot of SPMO lately primarily because it isn't as tech heavy as most of the other mega cap funds

MGK and the like are over 60% tech.

SPMO is less tech heavy than voo.

SPYG could be in this conversation. Many of the same stocks as others mentioned and an expense ratio of 0.04%

It also invest part in private companies that the other funds cannot do. It’s worth putting some in. And has outperformed the index. A part because of those private holdings.
